There is at least one element of the budget that we can hopefully all agree to being a positive... £2.1bn pledged to improve school maintenance. This should provide schools that require new learning spaces the support required. The number of schools with classrooms in a delapidated state is a real concern. The RAAC crisis, along with years of chronic underfunding has meant that some schools are unable to provide safe learning environments for all of their pupils. This extra £300 million for investment in the maintenance of school estates will hopefully enable schools that have been waiting for new teaching spaces to find a solution. Maxi Space can provide that solution. We can support with temporary permanent Modular classrooms and school buildings. If you, or anyone in your network is connected to a school that requires a temporary classroom solution quickly please get in touch. Want to find out more about what we do?

Meanwhile, the number of families opting out of school altogether in order to homeschool has been increasing. The bigger picture here is very concerning. Things have to change!
